Recap by phillip woo

The grandstand side was again the place to be. Favourite Mission Smart just held off Royal Agility after surging to the lead 200m out near the far outside travelling one-off in fourth from a wide draw. The win was overdue after placing in three prior starts. Royal Agility ran on nicely hugging the grandstand fence to make it close on the wire after a wide without cover run in midfield. He relished the downgrade. Amigos Giggle stayed on for third drifting towards the stands side after dictating the run from a tricky gate. He's gotten on track in his past two of three starts following a stable change. Ruby Stars kept on one-paced to fill the frame after a box-seat run. He was suited by the wet ground. Ernest Feeling got going near the outside to finish next best without menacing the topfour after a wide with cover run behind midfield. He keeps promising without delivering. Shiny Two made ground without menacing after a patient ride one from the rear. It was a slightly better performance following a downgrade. Gallant Cavalier just held his ground after making his run three back on the fence. He's limited. Dragon Baby weakened after a pace-stalking run from gate 14. He's not easy to get right.

Racing Incident Report

Race Four: (666) - SUFFOLK HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1400Meters

PRESIDENT STAR, Standby Declared Starter, was withdrawn on 13.5.22 by order of the Stewards (retirement).

ATHENA shifted out at the start, resulting in TREASURE OF FIELD, which began awkwardly, being taken out onto SHINY TWO which was crowded for room inside SHENRON which became unbalanced after being bumped on the hindquarters by SHINY TWO.

WONDERFUL FANTASY began very awkwardly, resulting in its rider becoming unbalanced.

WONDERFUL FANTASY then shifted in, resulting in MULTIPLE STAR, which was being steadied to obtain cover from a wide barrier, being crowded for room outside MISSION SMART.

Then shortly after the start, MULTIPLE STAR was hampered by MISSION SMART which was taken out by SUNNY SMILE which got its head on the side and shifted out when also being steadied to obtain cover.

In the early stages, ERNEST FEELING was shifted across behind runners to obtain a position closer to the rail.

Approaching the 1200 Metres, TREASURE OF FIELD was awkwardly placed outside the heels of ATHENA.

Then at the 950 Metres, TREASURE OF FIELD commenced to travel keenly and got its head up when awkwardly placed behind MISSION SMART which was being steadied to obtain cover behind DRAGON BABY.

Approaching the 900 Metres, ROYAL AGILITY and WONDERFUL FANTASY were left racing wide and without cover.

After the 600 Metres, as SHENRON lay out, SHINY TWO improved to be racing between that horse and GALLANT CAVALIER.

Then passing the 550 Metres, SHENRON shifted in marginally, resulting in both SHINY TWO and SHENRON becoming badly unbalanced.

Passing the 300 Metres, SHINY TWO was shifted out away from the heels of RUBY STARS.

Then passing the 150 Metres, SHINY TWO raced tight outside the heels of RUBY STARS which shifted out.

Passing the 50 Metres, AMIGOS GIGGLE shifted out towards the hindquarters of MISSION SMART.

A veterinary inspection of TREASURE OF FIELD immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
